Long Term Effects Of Traumatic Brain Injury

Minimizing The Long-Term Effects Of TBI

Dedicated Personal Injury Lawyer in Tallahassee

The brain is an amazing organ. When it is injured, however, the victim's
life can be dramatically and permanently altered. With the violent impact
of a serious car accident in which a head hits a dashboard, a traumatic
brain injury can result. In a typical motor vehicle collision, the trauma
is threefold. For example, the vehicle hits another object, the passenger's
head hits the dashboard, and then the brain hits the front of the skull.
The long-term effects of traumatic brain injury, or TBI, may be far more
damaging than is apparent at first. Below, the experienced brain injury
lawyers at Shapiro Law Firm, P.A., offer some useful advice on how to
minimize the effects of TBI.

Get TBI Experts Involved

Injuries inside the head are difficult to prove in court because sometimes
the injury is not readily apparent to the casual observer. That’s
why it is important to get medical experts involved to document symptoms,
especially when there is litigation involved.

Experts to involve at different points of the legal and rehabilitation
process might include the following:

A psychiatrist

A neurologist

An occupational therapist

Cognitive therapist

Physical therapist

The long-term effects of traumatic brain injury can be devastating. The
sooner a traumatic brain injury case is settled, the sooner the patient
can focus on rehabilitation. If the case cannot be settled out of court
and must be litigated in the courtroom, an experienced lawyer will hire
medical experts to testify in the case, helping to minimize the financial
effects of the injury for the victim.
